In 2013, my colleagues Ellyn Walter, Jordan Teague, and I created a curriculum to be used for U.S.-based school kids, linking Global Handwashing Day (October 15) and World Food Day (October 16). This curriculum is designed to provide background information on each day as well as the linkages between them.
Additionally, there are classroom activities that can be used in and around these days to raise awareness among students about the issues and solutions.
